Because of the Netflix high 10s, we’ve acquired extra perception than ever into what’s performing and what’s not. Each week, we assess the winners and losers of the highest 10s in our High 10 Experiences however beneath, we’ll be wanting again over the previous 12 months and see what exhibits are gaining viewership season over season and which of them are dropping.
All knowledge for this text was sourced completely from the Netflix high 10 website. We’re utilizing the views metric that Netflix publishes or what we typically consult with because the Accomplished Viewing Equal (CVEs for brief). That is the place you’re taking the whole hours watched and divide by the runtime of the collection and film.

That’s probably the most stunning Netflix success of 2023, one we didn’t actually count on however Ginny & Georgia actually did have a breakthrough second season in 2023. Season 1 was already good, with 42.5M CVEs over its first 28 days of launch however season 2 blasted by means of that with 53.8M CVEs over the identical time interval.
The collection was renewed for 2 new seasons, because it ought to with numbers equivalent to these ones.
Down: Heartstopper
English romance collection Heartstopper misplaced a little bit of viewers for the discharge of season 2, however it additionally confirmed that its core followers had been right here and desperate to binge the season when it was launched, as you’ll be able to see right here with the large bounce proper originally of its curve.
Season 3 can be launched within the fall of 2024, and its numbers would possibly determine whether or not the collection will get a fourth season or not. The creator of the present not too long ago stated that she’s longing for a season 4 pickup so we’ll see if it involves fruition.
Down: Candy Magnolias
The collection your mother or grandmother loves to observe is presently in manufacturing for its fourth season and it higher be a superb one as season 3 of Candy Magnolias was down from season 2.
Within the first 14 days, season 2 of the present had 14.3M CVEs and in season 3, that diminished to 11.3M in the identical interval. A small decay however a decay however.
If it may maintain a reasonable decay price with season 4, that must be sufficient for an additional season however an extra drop would possibly spell the tip of the collection.
Down: Virgin River
Virgin River, one other collection aimed toward ladies, is doing wonderful to date, however its final season (launched in two batches) did lower than season 4, which may very well be thought-about as peak viewership as we lack numbers on the primary two seasons.
One of many present’s stars has famous that not having the ability to promote the latest season (it was launched throughout the twin Hollywood strikes) impacted the viewership.
Season 6 is in manufacturing, and if it may keep the course, there’s no purpose a seventh season wouldn’t be within the playing cards.
Up: By no means Have I Ever
By no means Have I Ever ended its run with a fourth and closing season. Nonetheless, when wanting on the numbers, the collection nonetheless had fuel within the tank for different seasons because it steadily improved its viewership between seasons 2 and 4.
In its first 14 days:
Season 2 had 25.1M CVEs
Season 3 had 28.6M CVEs
Season 4 had 29.5M CVES
Even when we zoom out a bit, you’ll be able to see how every new season’s numbers improved on the earlier one.
That’s fairly a peculiar development for a Netflix collection, a feat solely achieved as far as we might inform by Stranger Issues, which did that for its first 4 seasons. Now, the issue was most likely that this collection offers with highschool, and 4 years/seasons is what it lasts. We haven’t heard something about such a challenge, however I’d not be shocked if a brand new collection with the identical solid was in growth someplace, possibly about how Devi navigates College or grownup life. Netflix does stay in enterprise with showrunner Mindy Kaling for a brand new basketball comedy collection.
Down: Intercourse Training
One other teen collection that ended its run after 4 seasons is Intercourse Training, however the development was fairly completely different. Even when it charted larger than By no means Have I Ever all through its life, the collection did lose viewership between season 3 and its closing season 4.
Down: Vikings: Valhalla
When season 1 of Vikings: Valhalla was launched, it was a fairly good success, which prompted Netflix to resume the collection for 2 new seasons. However when season 2 was launched, its numbers had been inferior to the collection misplaced a superb chunk of its viewership.
Had it not been renewed straight for 2 new seasons, I don’t assume a 3rd collection would have been made.
Down: Welcome to Eden
The Spanish collection Welcome to Eden was renewed for a second season after the nice numbers of season 1, however its return confirmed fairly a steep decay price in its viewership. The choice from Netflix Spain was swift and the collection was canceled.
Up: Outer Banks
Season 3 of Outer Banks improved simply barely on the numbers from season 2 when it was launched in February 2023, with 37.9M CVEs in comparison with the 37.1M CVEs of season 2.
Now, with the primary story of season 1 wrapped up in season 3 plus the solid being probably interested in different initiatives, and all the additional manufacturing prices related to going over the third season, I assumed season 3 could be the final. Nonetheless, it was renewed for a fourth season. So good for the Pogues!
Down: You
Peak viewership was presumably reached for season 3 for You, because the fourth season didn’t do as properly. Now, I ought to point out that as a result of the fourth season was launched in two batches, comparisons with earlier seasons are more durable as individuals may need need to await all of the episodes to be launched earlier than beginning watching.
You was renewed for a fifth and closing season that simply began manufacturing.
Down: Elite
I actually don’t understand how Elite managed to get to eight seasons, however its low finances most likely has one thing to do with it. Viewership on the Spanish collection has been trending down since season 3, with big drops from the fifth season right down to the seventh.
The eighth season is supposedly its final, and that’s a present from Netflix.
Down: Lupin
French hit collection Lupin has not been in a position to replicate the success of season 1 with its two following seasons, shedding 50% of its viewership between seasons 1 and three.
Now, in some other case, that will be sufficient to cancel it, however the first two seasons are within the all-time high 10 for worldwide TV, and the third season narrowly missed it too. So now we have an costly collection with a large drop in viewership that also manages to do nice numbers as worldwide TV goes regardless of that drop. As of writing, it has not been renewed as a fourth season won’t enhance on the numbers of season 3 whereas being considerably dearer. If I had been a betting man, I’d wager on a wrap-up/stand-alone film moderately than a full-fledged fourth season, however I’m not a betting man.
